A wish is defined as a hope or desire for something. In many cases people release a Wish Lantern to help their wish. In fiction, wishes can be used as plot devices whilst in folklore, opportunities for “making a wish” or for wishes to “come true” or “be granted” are themes that are sometimes used. In fiction a wish is a supernatural demand placed on the recipient’s unlimited request. When it is the centre of a story, the wish is generally a template for a tale of morality, “be careful what you wish for,” it can also be a small part of a story, in which case it is often used as a device for the plot. In a lot of stories the wording of the wish is extremely important. For example, characters often say, “I wish I was wealthy.” This wording could be taken literally, the wish granted so that at one time the wisher was (used to be) wealthy but is not any more. Saying, “I wish to be wealthy”, then because “to be” refers to either the present or the future, they would become wealthy.
